105: Chapter 104: The Vice Admiral's Narration, the Floating Island!Luffy and Zoro followed the three vice admirals, Flying Squirrel, Burning Mountain, and Spider Demon, to the cabin of the navy ship, and the three vice admirals each took out relevant information.
Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel handed all the information to Luffy and Zoro:
"These are the details of this surveillance mission.Please review them!"
Luffy and Zoro flipped through it briefly, then looked at each other with surprised expressions.
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel explained:
"Three days ago, the Navy Headquarters discovered a floating island moving above the Grand Line and immediately dispatched Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan to investigate.
Later, Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan confirmed that the island was artificially created and was constantly moving!The person controlling the floating island was suspected to be Shiki, the Golden Lion!
The news reached the Navy Headquarters, and Marshal Zhan Guo sent me and Vice Admiral Onigumo to investigate!Marshal Zhan Guo asked us to closely track the movements of the floating island and monitor its situation closely!
The fire on the mountain will continue to explain:
"This floating island suddenly stopped in the air not far ahead last night.So, last night, the three of us disguised ourselves and quietly infiltrated the floating island under cover of darkness, only to discover something truly remarkable!
The owner of this floating island is indeed [Golden Lion] Shi Ji, who raises a large group of genetically modified animals on this floating island!Golden Lion Shi Ji is ambitious and seems to want to destroy the entire East China Sea!
As we were preparing to return to the fleet, we were unfortunately discovered by [Golden Lion] Shiki, and a battle broke out.However, even with the three of us working together, we were still no match for him, and we could only reluctantly retreat!"
Vice Admiral Ghost Spider said sullenly:
"After finally retreating, we quickly reported the situation to the Navy Headquarters, but the fleet's support wouldn't arrive until the afternoon at the earliest!
The three generals now have their own things to do and they cannot leave, but they have to wait for other high-level combat forces to come to support them.The Golden Lion had already left!
Currently, [Golden Lion] Shiki's floating island is in mid-air not far ahead.Based on our observations, this floating island must have been forced to temporarily anchor due to a storm."
I walked up to the deck and squinted my eyes to see:
"There are indeed large dark clouds in the distant sky, and an island is faintly visible under the cover of the clouds.That must be it!"
Zoro then began to use his observation skills:
"A floating island, it seems to be Shiki the Golden Lion."
Luffy turned around and asked the three vice admirals:
"What do you want to do?What do you need us to do?"
Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel said in a deep voice:
"We must keep a close eye on it!We must not let [Golden Lion] Shiki escape freely!At the very least, we must delay it until the navy fleet's support arrives!"
Luffy was full of fighting spirit:
"No!We don't want this to be enough!"
The general in Huoshao Mountain was startled and asked hurriedly:
"What do you want to do?"
Vice Admiral Ghost Spider also widened his eyes:
"Golden Lion.Shiki is a legendary pirate!We are no match for him!We must not.act rashly!"
The fighting spirit in Zoro's eyes was also burning:
"[Golden Lion] Shiki!That's an opponent definitely worth a fight!"
Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel also said in a deep voice:
"Even though the three of us can barely hold back Golden Lion Shiki together, we can't possibly defeat him.Are you.confident?"
Luffy smiled calmly:
"This is what we want to do, not a question of whether we are confident or not.If we are to talk about confidence, we are not afraid of the Golden Lion Shi Ji.
Of course, you don't need to fight, after all, you are all seriously injured."
Zoro also pursed his lips:
"Do you think we can't defeat the Golden Lion?Don't underestimate us!We'll go into battle, and you just need to close the battle circle!"
"Golden Lion Shiki, leave it to me!We won't lose to him!Besides, if we fight, you won't have to passively watch.Just wait for the navy's support to arrive!"
The three groups of lieutenant generals were dumbfounded and said, "You are so bold, don't you need to think it over carefully?"
Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel advised:
"Isn't this.too risky?Even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea were as powerful as they are, they wouldn't be able to deal with a living legend, right?"
Luffy patted Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's shoulder and said calmly:
"Don't worry, you can continue to wait for support and do what you can.
As you just said, the floating island controlled by Golden Lion Shiki only stopped to avoid the storm.However, the storm will soon pass!When it does, no one will be able to stop Golden Lion Shiki from leaving.
If we take action, the battle between Golden Lion Shiki and us will surely be earth-shattering, and you will also have to help close the battle circle.
No matter what, Golden Lion Shiki, you absolutely cannot leave until the navy fleet and high-level combat forces arrive!"
The three vice admirals looked at each other in silence, watching Luffy and Zoro return to the Golden Merry.
"Do you think this man, known as the 'Strongest Seven Warlords of the Sea', can succeed?"
Ghost Spider asked his colleagues.
"I don't know, but I hope they succeed!"
The general on Huoshao Mountain silently wished in his heart.
In the eyes of the three lieutenant generals, even if they died here, they could not let [Golden Lion] Shiki leave.If the Golden Lion really left and destroyed the East China Sea, they would not hesitate to die.
…
"How's it going?"
When the Straw Hat Pirates saw Luffy and Zoro coming back, they hurriedly asked them.
Luffy said in a deep voice:
"Golden Lion!It's [Golden[Lion] Shiki!His floating island is in the air not far ahead, but it's blocked by dark clouds!
Weiwei was shocked:
"Shiki the Golden Lion!Isn't that the legendary pirate?He's still alive!"
Sanji lit a cigarette:
"If that's the case, then our mission objective is."
Zoro grinned:
"That's right!The original instructions from the Navy were to monitor him, but we don't want to do that!Let's.go and take down Shiki the Golden Lion!"
Ajin is ready to fight:
"A living legend?Looks like it's going to be a fierce battle!"
Nami took out the telescope:
"That's right!Shiki the Golden Lion should be on that floating island!Is he stopped by the storm?Should we attack directly?"
Usopp and Chopper expressed their confusion:
"Eh?So hasty?Don't you need to think it over carefully?"
Robin quietly packed his bags and prepared to follow the expedition:
"Our captain is just that kind of man, isn't he?Just go along with him and have some fun."
Luffy said in a deep voice:
"Golden Lion Shiki, the user of the Float-Float Fruit, is known as the Floating Man.He can float himself or objects through the air, earning him the nickname the Flying Pirate.However, this ability has no effect on any living being except himself.
Former captain of the Sky Pirates, Admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, he was a legendary pirate, on par with Gol D.Roger and Edward Newgate, Whitebeard.He was also the first pirate to escape from Impel Down.He possessed two famous swords, Sakura Ten and Deadwood.
It's said that he had a ship's rudder stuck in his head due to an accident.Earlier in his life, he single-handedly attacked Marine Headquarters, Marinford, and was only captured by the young Sengoku and Garp, who brought him to Impel Down.Later, the Golden Lion severed his own legs and escaped Impel Down, where he has been missing ever since.
Robin murmured, "What a cruel man!"
Luffy smiled knowingly:
"Yes!Attack directly!Golden Lion Shiki must have been blocked by the storm and had to stop.We must stop him and not let him get away!
Navy intelligence reports that he has raised a large group of genetically modified animals on the island and intends to destroy the East China Sea!"
Usopp jumped up with a start:
"We can't let him go!"
Luffy looked around:
"So, are you ready?"
Everyone responded loudly:
"certainly!"
